Honestly as a Nigerian Driver, it is difficult to say whether its the Nigerian police you are afraid of or the Federal road safety.

The Federal Road safety corps was founded in February 1988 and was saddled with the responsibility of keeping our roads safe and ensuring that only competent and Tested Drivers are allowed to drive in Nigeria.

This article is meant to educate you on the 37 FRSC Offences you likely may not know or have no idea of. So it my advice that you exercise patience and read through for you to know your rights.

Although the rationale for fixing these penalties are unclear to me because some highly placed offences have small fines attached while minor offences go with huge fines and penalties.
